🏉 Fast Start, Fierce Finish: U12s Battle Hard at Bear Park 🐻 🏉

🏉 Final Score: Ashton Bears U12s 10 – 18 Thatto Heath Crusaders Shields 🏉

What a shift at Bear Park today! A massive well done to our U12s in against a well matched Thatto Heath side. 🐻💪

The Highlights:

🔥 Fast Start: Ashton dominated early on, showing that all that hard pre-season graft is clicking! Captain Evan led from the front, crashing over for a try just 5 minutes in.

📈 Game of Two Halves: After a strong start from the Bears, a few discipline slips gave away field position. Credit to Thatto Heath—they finished the game incredibly strong, hitting the edges with some top-quality rugby to take the win.

🛡️ Steel Wall: Huge defensive shifts today from Seb, Jenson, and Henry—putting their bodies on the line when it mattered most.

🎯 Playmakers: Halves Fletcher and Ellis were pulling the strings all morning, linking up for some clinical plays.

The Honours:

⭐ Player of the Match & Opposition POM: Fletcher M

🛡️ Defensive Award: Henry B

Huge thanks to Thatto Heath Crusaders for the visit and a fantastic, competitive game, we’re already looking forward to the reverse fixture later this season! 🤝👊
